CHARLIE BOY











Well, it seems our rescue kitty will be called Charlie. I took a couple of photos of him today. He seems to like the camera. Buddy still isn't too sure about him. But, he and Tink are having a blast. You should see the way they run around the house chasing each other. Funny thing is...usually Charlie is the instigator! Tink is a very unusual Jack Russell. She's very gentle, sweet, and non agressive. Charlie had to have been raised with dogs. He has never shown any fear. He's not afraid of anything! I'm sure he was someone's beloved pet. Who knows why he was found in that shopping center. Did he get out of the house and get lost? Was someone unable to keep him because of economic difficulties? I don't know. But, I'm sure the rescue agency did all they could to find out. He has been a hoot and we are enjoying him here in our home. I hope he doesn't miss his prior family too much. Every once in a while I get a feeling that he is thinking about them and feeling sad. I just give him extra cuddles and hope that someday he will forget any sad memories.

BE STILL AND KNOW....

In the middle of life's ups and downs, joys and disappointments, tragedies and triumphs, losses and gains, sickness or health.... there is one constant unchanging truth. Always the same...always faithful...
God. And there is nothing that can separate us from His love,but sometimes I lose my awareness it. I busy myself with this and that and the other thing over there and put off the gentle coaxing of Holy Spirit to draw near. But, I hear very softly...."be still...and know...come away with Me."
How patient He is... This morning, I quiet my soul...and I'm drawing near.

FATHER'S LOVE

Just today I was reminded of a beautiful video I purchased back in 2001 and viewed it once again after not seeing it for many years. When I watched it today, it had the same impact on my heart as it did way back then. I was so excited when I found it on youtube. It is just too precious not to share. I hope you will take a few moments and just be still and soak in the beautiful truth that it woven throughout this video. It is truely a blessing. The blessing of Abba's love.

THIS KITTY IS REALLY A DOG!

This new kitty is really a dog!
I am so proud of my Tink for being so tolerant of our new kitty.
I'm so glad they are becoming playmates. Hopefully, Buddy will join in on the fun!

THE THREE MUSK-CAT-TEERS!


I found all three of them lined up in front of the sliding glass door and just had to take these pictures. (New kitty is on the right...kinda hard to see because of his black coat. Things are getting better. I can't wait until Buddy and new kitty are buds and start to romp and play together. When the two kitties start to growl, Tink gets right in the middle of them to break it up. She's the "house police".

MAKE YOUR OWN BUSINESS / THANK YOU CARDS











You can design your own two sided business cards!

I did and I'm not techno! You can do it, too!
They have a very helpful technical staff you can call on the phone! They offer matt or glossy finish and for a small additional cost, rounded corners. Their prices are reasonable and the quality is very close to Moo cards at a fraction of the cost.
